"CRAZY PATCH"

Tn e M ost Laus liable Compound of
Nonsense Ever Produced in st.
Paul--kate CastletOmss Great Suc-
| cess.
Of all the mirth- provoking pieces that
has ever been produced here Kate Castle
toms Crazy Patch" takes the lead. 1t
bubbles all over with fun. A better pleased
audience has not been seen in the Grand
! opera house this season than the one which
witnessed the opening performance of
Miss Castleton'S engagement last night
Crazy PATCH belongs to the numerous
family of absurd plays which are now hay
ing such rum but it differs from them all
in having well-detined plot and possess
ing the merit of fresh humor as unique
in its style as it is grotesque
There is more genuine comedy in it than in
Rag Baby" Tin Soldier" and other kim
dred plays. and with the Interpretation that
Kate Castleton and her exceeding clever
comedy company give 1t, there is no funnier
production on the stage to-day. 1t is said
to have been written for laughing purposes
only" and most successfully does it fulfill
its mission. as the audience was kept in an
almost uninterrupted roar of laughter from
the time the curtain first went up until it
fell the last time. Miss Castleton is more
chic than ever. She is an edition of Lillian
Russell and Lolita combined-pretty as a
peach in rpening and cute and coy as an
elm. Her cunning ways, her funny songs
and her vivaciOus comedies are sufficient to
start a wave of enthusiastic merr-
ment and to keep it rolling
the entire performance. Miss Castleton
is whole comedy show herself, but she
has generously provided each one of her
RI osalt 4,
able them to shine as stars iii the comedy
trmament. Eddie Girard John Gilbert and
Henry DOnnelly constitute trio of come
dams who excel the celebrated Big Four"
Misses Leslie and Hall are lawfully jolly
nice girls. while Miss Gilpin as the spin
ster, and Miss DOnnele as the domestic,
give pleasing representations of their re-
Spective characters. Mr.. Bell. as the medi-
cal superintendent of an insane asylum,
who was imprisoned and treated for
Insanity by one of his own patients. and
Mr. Phillips. as the reformed dude, made
up the remainder of the caste in this unique
patch of crazy humor. The music of the
piece is carefully selected and well sung.
both the solos and concerted pieces winning
and deserving the heartiest applause. The
same bill tonight.
1t has been three years since Kate Castle
ton was in st. Paul. She grows Younger
and pretter as the years steal on. and is
now the most versatile as she is the most
finished coincidence on the stage, with the
possible exception of Lolita, and she is
pOachng upon even her preserves as "a
dramatic cocktail"
There is all old-time flavor of comedy
about Crazy Patch''-of the good old days
when comedy was comedy
Miss Leslie has wonderfully rich and
sympathetic contralto voice, and her face is
as pretty as her voice is sweet.

His identity Revealed.

FoRT WORTH, Tex, March 2s The iden-
tity OF the man who committed suicide
III such dramatic way at the Union rail-
way station Wednesday, was established
clearly last evening. He is William r. Lyle,
the Chicago reporter, who three years ago
was sentenced to two years in the Joliet
penitentiary for stabbing man at the Chi
icago Driving park. Lyle was native Of
St. Louis and worked ON all the newspapers
in that city at different times. -Four years
ago he went to San Antonio, and while editor
Of the Evening Light shot q man, but e.
capped punishment He was always cratic
and unsettled in intellect, After his release
from Joliet his mind was in chaotic con.
dition, and after working few weeks IN
Chicago his friends took him south. He be-
gan drinking heavily Wednesday, and in his
delirium imagined every one was speaking
about his designs. He threatened to kin two
saloon keepers, and purchased pistol. His
uncle was with him, and conveyed him 70 the
Union station, where be placed the pistol to
bis head and blew out his brains,

Queer Actions Of I Juror.

Sioux CRY, Iowa, March IS The last
juror called in the Haddock case Thursday
forenoon was John Adair, near neighbor
Of John Arensdorf, 4 Democrat and sup
posed ardent sympathizer with the defense.
The state had exhausted its peremptory chal-
lenges, and could not dislodge him in that
way, and the defense passed him without
question. 1t was at once said by those who
knew him that he would never vote to CON
Wet Arensdorf Since then close watch has
been kept on him, and last evening he was
seen to emerge from the Franz brewery, Of
which Arensdorf is superintendent, in com
Germ, and chief bondsman for Arensdorf.
This fact Is significant, and may lead 70 4
new trial without further proceedings before
This jury.

pOWDERLY, IDEA.

Mr.. Powderly Is gathering stats
tics and data upon which to base
a plan for dealing with foreign I'M
migration. He corrects some mis-
statements and explains his attl-
tude as follows:
would shut out every man ana
woman who would deprive an Amer
lean citizen (native or naturallzed
of his employment. 1t sounds very
fine, and it certainly is sentiment
al to call this the home for the
oppressed, and that it is un-Ameri
can to talk OF keeping people away
from out shores, but with l,0OO,
600 men and women out OF employ
ment and the number increasing
with every wave it will soon be un
Christian as well as un-American I
invite people here to starve them
